Never in the history of political! A correspondent in tlie Char-
^Mllierin^''s in Transylvania conn- lotte Dfiily Ohsoi’ver. Oct. 9, sa\^s:
tv has tlu.M'e been a more att(‘nt- C'rawloi-d kno\vs all tlu' p7*oini-

in^ than that which gathered toi i^iyos them an (>nthnsiastic hand-
listen to tlie conj^ressional candi 'shake and sonu'tinii's .'■to])s hy the
dates in the court house last Sat
urday. There was not a light,
nor a street brawl, nor any bois
terous conduct on liie sti-eet or
in the hall during the entire day,
and both .“^iieakers were listened
to without interference of any
kind. There wasn't even a re
mote indication that any one had
found a jug. and whisky, th(‘
great disturber, was not in evi
dence. How dilferent from the
old regim(^ of a few years agol
It certainly pays to have a dry
town.
Mr. Britt had the opening
siieech, and he made a very fa
vorable impression. He is a
smooth, ])leasant speaker, and
were no one pi'esent to call him
down on his pro[)ositions his ar-
gunuMits might be convincing,
but with Crawford to follow him
he seemed ratlier doubtful of his
soundings and was ajiparently
backwai’d in launching any ag
gressive propositions. He con- ^
tented himself wiih platitudes ; th(^y were received. In this dis-
roa<lsidi‘ to visit an air^'d and in
firm fricMid. Britt looks dignified
in his black clerical suit and gold
spectaclcs; is an miijn])assi(m('d
sjH'akor, and as a cani])ai^ner is as
cold as a noi tli ^vind to an icicl(‘.
Of conrs(^ lu‘ is 7iot a vott'-witmt'r
lik(‘ the ina.irni'tic Crawford. Craw
ford is a ruddy-faced, typical nioun
tain athlc‘t(' with broad should(‘rs,
six fi‘(‘t hit>:h and W(*ii?hing 190
]K)unds avoirdnpois. Britt is small-
t‘r, v.'ith a sallow coni])l(*xion. a.LT-
gn'ssiv(' no.se and live fi'et t(‘ii inch
es hiirlt, and 44 y(>ars of age, or .six
Y(‘ars yonng(‘r than (’rawford.
It a])])oars stran.i^e to many vott'rs
that a r(‘V(*7ine nuin, skilh'd in tlu'
art of cutting np “stills,” should
bo thi> stiindard bear<‘r of this the'
t(‘nth con^r(“ssional district, yet the
ri‘V(‘nu(‘ men and ])ostmast(‘i's dom

One of the most beautifying
and pleasing incidents of the
speaking h«*re 'vas the shower of
boquets of roses which fell to
Mr. Crawford as he clos^^d the
debate, and his pleased facial ex
oression as he returned thanks
to tlie ladies from whose hands
for the republican party which,
as he })ut it, has brouglit the
country its wide prospm-ity by
its tariff protection to industries.
In rej)ly Mr. Crawford showed
that m; law can make })rosperity
for any save t!ie i)rotected class
es. It is labor that makes gen-j conve^’ance. They claim
(,'ral prosperity—-those wdio delve j tliat Southern otlicials in Ashe-
in tlie mines; weave and spin in J ville promised to hold the Toxa
play of appreciatioti Mr. Britt
was not remembered.

A failure of the schedule on
the Mui'j)hy branch left the can
didates to make their way from
Hendersonville to Brevard bv
the factories; build the engines;
make the steel bi-itlges and farm
machinery, as well as those who
follow the plow and raise the
bumper crops of wheat, corn,
cotton and hay, who bi'ing to ev
ery country its general prosper-
way train for them but failed to
do so. This made them more
than an hour late, but the crowd
was good natured and waited
without grumbling. According
to the Citizen report about 400
were present at the speaking—
ity. This year nature has inter- jiind it was a Crawford crowd by
fered with the general [)rosperity ! large majority,
by an extended season of con
tinuous rains, and in spite of the
Dingley tar.ff or any other law
there will be hard times and suf
fering foi- the necesraries of life
in some localities.
So far as the prosperit}" of
Transylvania county is concerned
every citizen knows that the
Transylvania railroad is respon
sible for it. By bringing the
Toxaway tannery, the Brevard
Tannin ])lant, a larger influx of
summer visitors and a home
market for everything the coun
ty produces, it has brought pros
perity—and the Dingley tariff
has had nothing whatever to do
with it save as it increases the
pi'ice of clothing and other neces
sities which we buy. If anybody
can show’ that paying more mon
ey for what we purchase can
make a county prosperous we
may be induced to believe that
the republican party is in some
V.ay responsible.
It does not take a fortune teller
to ])redict that the name of the
next Governor of New York will
begin with H.
Now that the Spanish Court of
Claims is getting short of work
it can change its name to the Ca
ban Court of Claims and the work
Will last it another century.
